Just wondering if it possible to do like for eg. Let's say i want to use mutalisk as nuclear laucher instead of ghost and when i want the nuke to launch, just morph the mutalisk to be guardian or devourer and when it pop out the nuke goes there ,can u do like this ?
Current player commands 1 guardian
Center location label "nuke here"on Guardian owned by current player at anywhere
Remove 1 Guardian owned by current Player at "nuke here"
Create 1 Nuke for player at "nuke here" (to launch the nuke there ?)
will that works instead of just using the ghost to launch the nuke manually ?
anyone help ? THX !
None.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
No that won't work.
There is always a ghost involved in nuking.
But you can order a computer's ghost to nuke wherever you want with triggers. The computer just needs nukes (there are 2 ai-scripts that will cause the computer to have nukes)

So in other word that means you can't nuke into the middle of big lake(water) cuz the ghost can't reach there right ?
If that so then is there other way to cause direct heavy damage in specific location ? So i can do that instead of nuking.

you would have to have small islands to create a ghost there...

Create air units there, let them shoot and then remove them again. Not pretty, but pretty much your only option to create direct damage far from walkable terrain.

You could place some walkable null terrain some distance away from the scene, spawn the ghost on the null, and then guide the ghost to the location of interest.
I order you to forgive yourself!

And you can enable cloak for that ghost. Once it spawns, have a unit attack it and then make him invincible.

Or just create the unit with the cloak property set...

Should of thought about it... Makes kinda feel
Is it possible if I let the ghost nuke from anywhere first and while the nuke is flying up or going down, use the center location trigger to catch the nuke then move the nuke to specific location and it will just go boom in specific location immediately instead ?
None.

That sounds like something you could easily test yourself.
You can detect nukes with locations, so it's feasible, but moving a unit interrupts its current orders, so you'll probably end up with a nuke that just sits there.
The nuke unit itself doesn't explode or do any damage. It just goes 'puff'. So most likely attempting to move it won't have the results you desire. Also I'm pretty sure that if you were doing this, you'd need to catch the nuke on the way down, rather than the way up, but even then I don't think it'll work.

The nuke unit itself
does do the explosion and damage itself; it's just the difference of a nuke exploding or dying, much like a Zerg Scourge or Infested Terran.

If that's the case, perhaps setting generic target location (or whatever it is), or ordering the missile to attack/patrol to a certain spot could force it to explode?
Probably the DDS system of moving a scarab to an unwalkable location won't work, though, due to the nuke being a flying unit.

Hmmm... that's sounds interesting to try.
If nuke won't work, I guess i will have to end up making scourge + IFT at specific location...
None.
I think if you order a nuke, it removes its attack order and won't attack again. You'll be stuck with a nuke that just sits there until you order it to move again.
